The Women’s World Cup is well underway as Alex Morgan and the rest of the USWNT provided some classic entertainment last night…

The Women’s World Cup is gaining a lot of publicity and after last night, it’s not difficult to see why. In this competition, there are a wide array of players that have the ability to excite and perform on the world’s biggest stage. It really is a predicament to how far the women’s soccer game has come in a prolonged period of time.

Last night hosted a real classic between the United States of America and Thailand. The game was full of goals and finished at a resounding 13-0 in favour of the States. However, it comes as no surprise that it was Alex Morgan that stole the show on a record-breaking night.

More from USWNT

The Orlando Pride forward scored five goals and provided three assists. Previously, only one player had scored five goals in a single Women’s World Cup match and that was Michelle Akers, also of the USA.

She may have humiliated Thailand, but Morgan was still respectful to the opposition. It was reported by The Indian Express that Morgan comforted Thai player Miranda Nild after the match, only emphasising the union which is held in the game.

With that being said, let’s take a look at how Twitter united to react to the game…

F**king squad goals!!! https://t.co/JuhVmMWCW0

Morgan isn’t one to hold back on the strong language.

Morgan is a real fan favourite across the globe.

Good thinking. This is why @alexmorgan13 should be paid way more than @TeamMessi & @Cristiano combined. After all, they never scored five goals in a WC game. [It is difficult to imagine that this outlet is run by functioning human beings.]

This resounding record brought forward the age-old debate of the gender pay gap in football. Morgan and her team definitely put forward a strong case that the gap should be eradicated.

Is there anything she can not do?!

OMG WE WON 13-0 DAMN WE’RE AMAZING DID WE PUT THE MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS ON THE FIELD?! SHOUT OUT TO THIS WOMENS WORLD CUP TEAM YALL ARE BALLERS I NEED TO BUY AN ALEX MORGAN JERSEY ASAP
